Work Experience
01/2013-12/2013 Aerospace Eng Projects Lab: High Powered Rocketry
Spanning two semesters, I built and launched rockets from scratch and via a kit, learning
project management, fabrication, integration, and other useful skills. Logged >100 hours.
08/2013&01/2014 SolidState Motor Sessions: Propellant Mixing, MotorAssembly/Testing
Twice attended professionalclasses demonstrating and carried out mixing of propellant
and construction of solid statemotors, involving all steps except machining the aluminum
casings. Both motors fired successfully.
01/2014-05/2014 Research in Aerospace Engineering: Texas SatelliteLab
Assisted in the Texas Satellite Lab, primarily working on 3u CubeSats. I helped to
streamline our Mission Design Tool, assemble solar cells/panels, assist with integration,
compile files, perform graphical renderings for NASA, CAD designed release lever for
CubeSat deployment. Logged approximately 7 hrs/wk.
Academic Experience
05/2011-07/2011 Study Abroad: Vienna, Austria
Improved upon teamwork, leadership and initiative, while learning 3-D
Modeling, German dialects, worldly culture, and firsthand experience.
01/2014-05/2014 Spacecraft Systems Laboratory, Optimization Projects
Performed optimization (via MonteCarlo analysis) and design of EDL segments,
including mass budgeting and certain trade studies such as propellant tank material and
sizing.
01/2015-05/2015 Mission Design: Flyby Anomaly Research Endeavor
This project was requested by JPL to investigate the anomalous energy exchange found
during certain hyperbolicflybys. I served as systems engineer in title, but had project
manager roles as well. We are being flown to present it at JPL in March then again at UT
at theend of thesemester. This project was particularly intensive in regards to trajectory
design and propulsion tradestudies. As an affordable initiative, it may receive funding.
01/2015-05/2015 Computational Methods for Structural Analysis: Finite Elements Code
Over the course of a semester I developed a code that analyzes 2D isotropicstatic
structures using triangular element meshes which was based off of the weak form of the
principal of virtual work. Having also taken Mechanics of Composites and Structural
Dynamics, I could further refine the code to analyze non-isotropic and dynamic scenarios.
